What owners wrote
I had the car into the dealer three times prior to the warranty expiration with complaints about the brakes. My concern was that the brake light (ABS) kept coming on and off. Finally, the end of august they agreed to replace the rotors if I paid to replace the brake pads. This was done. The next week, I was driving down the highway and the brake light came on again. I immediately picked up the cell phone and called the dealer. I was told that it was probably a computer glitch and to bring it in at my convenience.
The vehicle experienced extended stopping distance. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor. The front disc/rear drums were replaced however the brake pedal still felt spongy and continued to go to the floor.
